The weapons carried by these individuals were crafted from first-grade Black Iron, which was capable of withstanding ordinary attacks. Among the guards, the two black-robed men at the forefront had reached the formidable level of stage-seven martial monarch."You little pest, you've caused enough trouble!" sneered the black-robed martial monarch on the left, his eyes glinting with greed."You've slaughtered so many of the Dark Blood Guards. Today, even if you escape to the heavens, you won't evade death!"Confident in his stage-seven martial monarch power and armed with a spear enhanced by martial techniques, he believed he could easily suppress Chase."A stage-seven martial monarch? So what?" Chase's voice was calm but carried a sharp edge.The black-robed martial monarch hesitated internally, reluctant to provoke further chaos."Capture him and bring him to the lord!" he ordered, waving his sleeve dramatically.In an instant, over a dozen Dark Blood Guards surged forward, thei
Chase spoke coldly, "Your so-called accomplishment just now was nothing more than a lie."Hearing this, Philip's pupils narrowed slightly. Suddenly, he threw his head back and laughed wildly. "Chase! I know you don't believe me. Fine, I'll tell you why I deceived you! It's because you don't deserve this pill!"Chase narrowed his eyes, staying silent.Philip continued, "This pill was something I spent three days and nights refining, all for the sole purpose of making you lead the way!"As his words echoed, Philip's eyes turned crimson with malice as he glared at Chase with boundless hatred."I hate you to the core! If only I could eat your flesh and drink your blood! Once you're dead, I can enjoy this precious pill all by myself! Ha! Chase, did you think someone as worthless as you deserved Quinn? She'll abandon you sooner or later!" Philip cackled madly.He was certain Chase would explode in fury, even kill him to vent his anger."Are you done?" Chase's calm, icy voice suddenly
"So, the purpose of the Blood Vein Orb is to act as a seal," Chase murmured to himself."As long as I don't unlock the Martial Vein Shackles, Philip will never notice it. But… I'm not willing to waste this Blood Vein Orb."Chase sighed softly. Then, raising his hand, he pressed it against Philip's forehead, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy that instantly shattered the Blood Vein Orb's seal. At that moment, a burst of crimson light erupted.The center of Chase's brow gleamed with radiant purple light, annihilating every trace of the blood patterns.The crimson radiance dissipated, and Chase's appearance returned to normal, his aura surging stronger than ever. After this breakthrough, he could vaguely sense the barrier to stage eight of the body refinement stage and knew he was ready to break through at any moment."How can this be? This is impossible…" Philip trembled violently, and his face was pale as a sheet.He mumbled in disbelief, unable to accept that the Blood Vein
In the next instant, the void distorted. Space collapsed as if an invisible spider web stretched over the area, sealing it from all sides.A muffled explosion echoed as the blood-robed warriors were trapped, unable to move. No matter how they channeled their spiritual energy, it was futile. They simply could not break free from the spatial restraint."Mr. Collins..."Seeing Chase approach, the guards dropped to their knees with terror etched on their faces."Leave," Chase said coldly."Thank you for sparing our lives!"Relieved, the guards scrambled to their feet and fled the scene as quickly as they could.Chase shook his head.Philip's schemes were cunning and unfathomable. As for these guards, their strength was pitifully weak. Even if Chase stood still, they likely would not have been able to harm him.Still, he did not see the point in wasting energy on such small fries. With calm strides, Chase left the forest.Moments later, a group of guards rushed to the scene outsid
Haldy let out a series of cold laughs, his mood visibly lifted. The dark cloud of Philip's death had entirely dissipated."Mr. Cooper, something terrible has happened!"A desperate scream rang out in the distance. A group of blood-soaked men in black staggered forward. Their faces were pale and their steps were unsteady."Hmm? What's going on?" Haldy frowned, momentarily taken aback."It's Chase! Chase is coming!"Blood sprayed into the air. The guard who had just spoken had his head burst apart.Haldy's expression darkened.The wailing and screams around him grew more intense, coming from all directions."Help!""Run!"Chaos erupted.By the time Haldy reacted, seven or eight of his guards had already been killed.As for Chase, he was approaching slowly but steadily, leaving carnage in his wake. Every blood-robed warrior he encountered was mercilessly slain."Chase!" Haldy roared in fury. "How dare you hunt down members of the Cooper family?! You're courting death!"Haldy
"No! You can't kill me! I'm a stage-five martial overlord, a direct elder of the Cooper family, and the Grand Elder of the clan!" Haldy screamed in terror.His face was pale as he watched Chase's sword energy pierce toward his brow. His fear was palpable, shaking him to his core.A blazing white light suddenly descended, accompanied by a surge of sword energy that roared like a dragon's tail, forcing Chase to retreat."Who's there?" Chase frowned, his sharp gaze locking onto a middle-aged man dressed in regal embroidered robes, standing in the distance with his hands clasped behind his back."Grand Ancestor, save me!" Haldy shrieked, his voice cracking. "Kill him! Kill this savage! End him!"The newcomer was none other than Achilles Cooper, the Grand Ancestor of the Secret Sect, the true mastermind."Silence." Achilles' rebuke was cold and commanding, silencing Haldy instantly. Then, his gaze shifted to Chase, his expression icy."Who are you to trespass here? Your crime is puni
Chase squinted, and a flicker of intrigue crossed his face."Indeed," Achilles said coldly. "This Earth Vein Prison was crafted from rare minerals I personally excavated, materials used to forge supreme artifacts and array cores. You're already doomed.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow."I'll give you a chance to live," Achilles declared with hands clasped behind his back. "Tell me about the Collins family, and I might consider granting you a painless death."Chase responded with a faint smile and shook his head as if mocking the offer."What's so funny?" Achilles' brows furrowed, anger flashing in his eyes.Surveying his surroundings with a casual glance, Chase replied with a scornful tone, "This so-called Earth Vein Prison is hardly impressive.""You insolent whelp!" Achilles snarled, his anger erupting. "Since you've chosen death, I'll ensure it's delivered!"As his words fell, Achilles unleashed a massive palm strike from a distance, aimed directly at Chase.The devastating f
Snowflakes drifted through the air as the icy wind cut to the bone.Chase stood motionless, his expression calm but resolute. He summoned the power of the elements and unleashed his strongest technique—Five Thunder Break.A brilliant streak of lightning roared like a furious dragon, crashing down with devastating force.The steel-hard ice formed by the Earth Vein Prison shattered instantly.Achilles coughed up blood. His chest was pierced through as a crimson mist sprayed across his garments."How are you this powerful?!" Achilles gasped with terror flickering in his eyes.Before he could process what had happened, a golden spear streaked through the air and stabbed into his shoulder.Blood gushed forth, staining the ground.Nonetheless, Chase was not done. He bent his left arm slightly, and with a swift punch, he struck Achilles with the force of a collapsing mountain.Achilles let out a groan as his body flew through the air, crashing into the earth with a sickening thud.C
Chase let out a cold laugh."Do you think such petty tricks can scare me?"Before his words had faded, Chase leaped directly into the swarm of ghostly entities. Though these phantom tactics were far from ordinary, he showed no fear."Hehe…""Delicious…""Hahaha…""Feed us!"The ghostly figures lunged at Chase with terrifying cries and wails that pierced the air. It was chilling to anyone who heard them."Just a mere gathering of dark energy, and you think it can trap me?" Chase sneered dismissively.Golden light burst forth from his body, shining like a radiant star. As he wielded his golden spear, Chase swept it across the ghostly swarm in a move that generated a violent gust, scattering the ghostly entities.His hands moved swiftly, forming intricate seals. Two streams of true energy intertwined and coalesced into a spiraling drill."Break!" Chase roared, channeling his energy into the drill and slamming it into Achilles' forehead.Achilles' skull exploded instantly, his
